Property managers should start charging clients more, a leading property manager has said.

At the recent Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) North Queensland Convention, held in Townsville, Malcom Riley, of MR Presentations, told principals and agents it was time to start charging more for all the services they offer, no matter how small.

“We are doing too much for free,” he told delegates.

“We are letting society expect way too much of from us and then become frustrated and disillusioned with the industry.”

Mr Riley is a recognised specialist in property management and is a former Queensland REIQ Property Manager of the Year.
